Obituary of Elsberry Croskey

Elsberry Croskey was born on June 5, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama to the union of Asberry and Imogene Croskey: He left his earthly body for his heavenly home on July 13, 2019. Els as he was affectionately called, was my parents first child, and the only child my father named:(inside joke).

Els graduated from Mt Tahoma High School on May 31, 1973. He was married to his wife Margaret for over 40 years and helped raise her infant son, Issac.

Elsberry will forever be known for his kind heart, his gentle spirit, his mental and physical strenth and his amazing smile. He was proceeded in death by his father, Asberry Jr.

He leaves behind to cherish his memories his mother Imogene: His wife Margaret and son Issac: his siblings; Kenneth (Brenda), Mark(Gwen), Cheryl(Gerald), Jacquelyn (Dwayne), Douglas(Elona) and Kristi. Grandchildren; Monique, Desire, Angelia, Issac Jr and Lilly: Great-Grandchildren; Nakisha, Nakayla, Jaylen and Derek. He also leaves a host of nephews and nieces.

We would like to thank Hospice House for taking such great care of Els. We would also like to thank Cascade Active Day Center for providing a safe place for Els to do activities.
